At least three people have died after one of California’s strongest
storms in years brought torrential rain and flash floods to the state.

More than 100 homes have been evacuated over fears of mud slides near
Los Angeles after the pacific storm, dubbed a “bombogenesis” or
“weather bomb”, parked itself over southern California, opening sinkholes and cutting power to thousands of people.

More than 300 flights at Los Angeles international airport have also
been cancelled or delayed. The storm stretched far out into the ocean
and was at its strongest late on Friday afternoon. It is expected to
last until Saturday afternoon.
One man was found dead in a submerged vehicle in the desert town of
Victorville after several cars were washed down a flooded street, San
Bernardino county fire spokesman Eric Sherwin said. MORE
